- title: "End of support for Python 3.6 in Dependency Scanning" announcement_milestone: "14.8" announcement_date: "2022-02-22" removal_milestone: "15.0" removal_date: "2022-05-22" breaking_change: true reporter: sam.white stage: secure issue_url: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/351503 body: | # (required) Do not modify this line, instead modify the lines below. For those using Dependency Scanning for Python projects, we are removing support for the default `gemnasium-python:2` image which uses Python 3.6, as well as the custom `gemnasium-python:2-python-3.9` image which uses Python 3.9. The new default image as of GitLab 15.0 will be for Python 3.9 as it is a [supported version](https://endoflife.date/python) and 3.6 [is no longer supported](https://endoflife.date/python).
